Tanno sets sights on title and World Cup spot

Chonburi: Ririka Tanno has big aspirations for herself and Japan as she sets her sights on the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 title and a place in the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Three-time champions Japan were held 0-0 by Australia in their Group A opener, but resumed normal business with a comprehensive 9-0 win over Bangladesh on Wednesday.

What made the win even more impressive was that six different players found the back of the net, with Tanno, Momoko Nebu and Maika Hamano scoring two goals each.

Group A - MD2: Bangladesh 0-9 Japan

Chonburi: Japan were simply unstoppable as they defeated Bangladesh 9-0 in Group A of the AFC U-16 Women's Championship Thailand 2019 on Wednesday.

Japan, held to a goalless draw by Australia in their group opener, entered the match knowing they needed a win to keep in sight of the semi-finals.

With that in mind, the young Nadeshiko immediately pressed the South Asians and enjoyed the best of starts when Manaka Hayashi was left with ample space outside the box to let loose a superb strike into the top left corner within the first 70 seconds.

Group A - MD2: Australia 6-1 Thailand

Chonburi: Australia put themselves within touching distance of a first AFC U-16 Women’s Championship semi-final in a decade, outclassing hosts Thailand 6-1 at Chonburi Stadium on Wednesday.

Rae Dower’s side took the lead within five minutes and never looked back, piling on the goals in a dominant performance which included two each for Alana Jancevski, Hana Lowry and substitute Georgia Beaumont

The result means only a draw with Bangladesh on Saturday is required to guarantee Australia’s progression to the knockout stage for the first time since 2009, while Thailand are likely to require a win against three-time champions Japan to extend their campaign into a second week.
